FRAMES ~ From The Archives 1969: PSNS computer installed, Lions with light bulbs, a burglary victim and MORE!

A box of 1968-1969 negatives from the archives of Bremerton Sun photographers is next up on my desk for scanning. Som how I only managed to pull 1969 negatives out for my first few rounds of scanning so this post is all 1969.

***Remember, the only information I have on these images is what is written on the negatives sleeve which is then typed in beneath the photos seen below.

A few images found:

Lions Club members selling lightbulbs, and by the looks of the photos maybe they were selling them to help fund the park since the photo shows lightbulbs oddly stuck in the sand.
An adorable moment at the Mother’s Day Horse Show.
The installation of a computer at PSNS.
A victim of the Bremer’s burglary and the hammer that he was hit with.
Construction of the JC Penney building.
Images titled “Travis Drinking On The Job” which I am guessing are of a Bremerton Sun reporter testing out a breathalyzer machine.

***I also feel the need to put small plea on this post because of some slightly unscrupulous re-postings – if you are going to share these photos around social media and what not (which is totally fine) PLEASE credit the Kitsap Sun. These are our old but still copyrighted images and it is important to note that they are credited to us. ***

One thought on “FRAMES ~ From The Archives 1969: PSNS computer installed, Lions with light bulbs, a burglary victim and MORE!”

Some police ID help:
That’s Jim Randal standing behind “Travis” who’s blowing into the Breathalyzer machine. Jim was a patrolman in traffic division at the time and became a Sgt. shortly there after.
Jack Kavistad is behind the hammer used in the Bremers assault. He was probably Capt. of Detectives then, and later rose to Asst. Chief.
